Swanson (groin) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

The rookie took an errant warmup throw to the groin midway through Monday's game, forcing him out of the contest with what the team deemed a right groin contusion. The ailment is apparently nothing serious, though, as Swanson is back at his usual shortstop spot Tuesday night.

Mondesi remains out of the lineup Tuesday, according to Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio.

This marks Mondesi's fourth straight day out of the lineup, so he should no longer be considered a regular for the time being. Christian Colon and Whit Merrifield have taken over the duties at the keystone in Mondesi's place.

Featherston was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Featherston was designated for assignment last week to make room on the Phillies' 40-man roster for reliever Joely Rodriguez.

Swanson was forced to leave Monday's game with a right groin contusion, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Swanson was hit with an errant throw during warmups in the fourth inning. As painful as the injury sounds, it doesn't project to be something that will force Swanson to miss an extended period of time. We'll keep an eye on his status, but consider him day-to-day for now.

Owings is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Owings is hitting a sizzling .385 (15-for-39) through nine games this month, but manager Chip Hale decided it was time to give him what will be just his second day off since July 30. Jean Segura will get the start at shortstop in Owings' place, and Brandon Drury will take Segura's spot at second base.

Mondesi is not in the lineup Monday against the Athletics.

Mondesi had been holding onto to the starting spot at second base for some time now, but it seems that manager Ned Yost wants to give the 21-year-old a bit of time off to clear his head given his .151 batting average over the past 30 games. Christian Colon will take over the keystone for the top prospect as he sits out for the third game in a row.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Arcia has heated up at the plate since a slow start, but he will get a day off Monday after going 1-for-11 over his last three games. Jonathan Villar will cover shortstop in Arcia's place, and Hernan Perez will replace Villar at third base.

Correa will be in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

Correa was limited to just one at-bat Sunday as he took the field for the first time since Tuesday, but it appears his removal had more to do with the lopsided score at the time he was taken out -- 9-0 in favor of the Cubs -- than the health of his shoulder. The Astros have not yet released their lineup for Monday's contest, but Correa figures to start at shortstop and hit cleanup as usual.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

His extraordinary rookie campaign continues. Turner is now slashing .343/.365/.552 with eight homers, 30 RBI, 40 runs scored and 23 steals in 26 attempts in just 54 games with the Nats, all while getting on-the-job training in center field.

Correa (shoulder) is back in the lineup at shortstop and hitting in the cleanup spot Sunday against the Cubs, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

Left shoulder inflammation had sidelined Correa for the previous four games. But as manager A.J. Hinch suggested earlier last week, the star shortstop was able to return to action before the series with the Cubs came to a conclusion. The injury had made it difficult for Correa to swing without much pain, but he's apparently made significant progress over the last couple of days. Though Correa may be in line for a day off at some point during the upcoming week, he appears primed to take back an everyday role.
